Dog Boarding in Hope Ranch, CA

“Jeanine could not have been more wonderful! Her place is like a doggy oasis. Tons of room to play and a nice outdoor area. I felt so comfortable leaving my little princess with her. I could tell my dog had a good time! She got along with the other dogs great :)”

“Lynn and Marty did a great job with Milo :) I had a last minute trip to Santa Barbara and they were very accommodating. I received consistent updates and photos throughout the day and Milo had a great time playing in their backyard. Will definitely book again!”

“Aya took such great care of our australian shepherds while we were away for the weekend. She sent lots of updates on how they were doing and also offered pick/drop off which was convenient. We came home to 2 very happy pups!”

About: I’ve grown up with my friends’ dogs and personal dogs (two French Bulldogs and a Boston Terrier). I am comfortable with all breeds (as long as they are friendly!) I am confident and will make sure the dog and I understand each other during our walks. I am available to walk dogs after 4PM during the week and my weekends are open! I can do home stays/boarding on the weekends only. I have no pets and will be giving my full attention to yours with food, water, treats, naps, playtime, etc. I have an open green space and the dog will be leashed at all times outside of the home.

“Sparky had another amazing time with Jacob and his family! He was so happily tired he just snuggled right in for a nap, not that he was happy to leave Jacob’s place! Very slow going to get into our car LOL I truly can’t say enough about the love and attention Sparky gets here, it’s as fun for Sparky as our vacations are for us! Thank you thank you!!”

“Natalia is officially our go to sitter. This was our 1st time leaving our super anxious dog with a stranger. We were given at least daily photo updates and it also looked like she took him to the beach and dog park (Krypto looked really happy in the photo). Natalia had everything already, so next time we go on vacation we just need to provide Krypto's food and supplements. She purchased a toy for him, has a bed, water/food bowls, crate...so I highly recommend Natalia”

About: I have had dogs in my life of all shapes and sizes since I was young and my love for them has never changed. They are the sweetest of pets and deserve all the love patience and care in the world. I love to have fun with all dogs or just hang out, whatever their needs may be. I currently have an open schedule to care and provide whenever necessary! I do morning and evening walks with my own dog but whenever needed we change it up and adjust. My home has a big fenced yard as well as baby gates at the front door to provide extra security. I have a dog of my own that is very playful and kind plus 2 family dogs that prefer their own time but have a safe and private place for themselves.

“Waffles was so excited to see Gail when we dropped her off. She had a great time with Gail and her dogs. Gail was communicative, and I know Waffles is in good, caring hands when she’s there.”

“James is so nice and I could tell Canyon was happy during his stay! James made sure to send pictures and tell us what Canyon was up to while we were gone, and was super flexible with the pickup time as the flight was delayed. We hope to stay with James again!”

“Ada and her family made my 1 year old pup Misha feel completely at home during his week long stay with them. They always have someone home and have a big backyard that’s perfect for dogs. They provided regular updates and made me feel like pup was in good hands.”

About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and especially puppies. I’ve personally trained two puppies from scratch, so I’m comfortable with the patience and consistency it takes to support a dog through their early years. I have a deep, intuitive connection with animals and often find I understand their energy and needs even better than people’s. I work for myself from home here in Santa Barbara, which means I have plenty of flexibility to give pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, belly rubs, or just a calm, safe space, I approach every animal with genuine care and a tender heart. I’m also very active, so long walks and outdoor time are a highlight for both me and the dogs I care for. I work for myself and from home, so my schedule is very flexible. That means I can easily adapt to your pet’s needs—whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care. I’ll always make time to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. Every animal is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual needs, energy, and comfort level. I’ll meet your dog or cat where they’re at—whether that means extra space, extra snuggles, or gentle structure—with clear, compassionate boundaries to keep them safe and happy. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I live in a calm, pet-friendly apartment near Santa Barbara City College, with plenty of walkable paths and green spaces nearby. I love getting outside and take dogs on multiple long walks throughout the day. If your dog is social and has solid recall, I can bring them to local off-leash areas for supervised play and exploration. I have one small dog of my own—Pepper, a 3.5-year-old mixed breed who’s very friendly and well-socialized. I also have two young stepsons who are with us 50% of the time, so dogs staying in our home must be kid-friendly. The good news? Your dog will get plenty of love and attention from four caring humans. I’ve trained two of my own dogs from puppyhood and am confident managing a range of behaviors—from leash training to crate routines and basic obedience. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for senior pets or those with special needs. For cat care, I’m especially attuned to their unique rhythms and boundaries, and I provide calm, consistent care whether I’m visiting your home or caring for them during a stay. Whether I’m boarding, walking, or house sitting, your pet will be safe, respected, and genuinely cared for—just like family.

“Carson was so great with our lab, Shelby! He was very responsive, friendly, attentive, and happy to watch Shelby for the weekend. He sent daily pictures/videos too! We couldn’t recommend Carson enough and hope we can schedule him again soon :)”

“I can’t say enough good things about Eve! She took such wonderful care of my 6-month-old puppy, and it was clear from the moment I picked him up that he was not only happy, but had formed a real bond with her. She’s incredibly kind, patient, and clearly has a natural way with animals. On top of that, she even taught him a few new tricks! I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend!”

“Haven and Mike were wonderful with our cat Gizmo. Super quick to respond to all my messages, and they helped Gizmo feel at home even though she was a little nervous at first. We would definitely book Haven and Mike again!”

“You can tell when someone simply loves animals and this is the case with Ryan. He genuinely cares deeply for these pets and he will care for yours like how own.”

Adam K.

“I would highly recommend and trust Honey with your fur baby. She was very friendly and fast to respond. She made it easy to drop off my pup by meeting her first and then introducing my dog to her Australian cattle dog. Honey also gave me updates, pictures and videos throughout the day. This eased my mind as It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. I could tell my girl was happy and had a good day. Loved honey, her dog, and how she cared for mine.”

“Kate, Mark and their family took excellent care of our 8 year old golden retriever for 2 weeks. About a month before our trip we took our dog over for a “meet and greet” to see how she would get along with the family and their dog. This went smoothly, so we reserved her stay. A couple days before our departure we dropped off our dog for a 2-3 hour visit to really test her out. Everything went well. While we were away, Kate texted us and sent photos every couple of days and assured us that our dog was safe and happy. We are so grateful that they treated her like a member of the family, lavishing her with love and attention. I would highly recommend Kate and Mark for dog sitting.”
